Acts of political repression by the Democratic Progressive Party

“Green Terror” (Chinese: 綠色恐怖; pinyin: Lǜsè Kǒngbù; Wade–Giles: Lü4sê4 Kʻung3pu4) is a political term used to characterize and criticize purported “authoritarian-like” actions of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) or the pan-Green camp. It is used by the DPP’s opponents in Taiwan (mainly the pan-Blue camp and the Taiwan People’s Party), but is also sometimes used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and local CCP supporters.[1][a] The term is a combination the DPP’s party color and “White Terror“, a reference to political repression under the Kuomintang‘s rule by martial law.

Examples

Since 2014, the Ma Ying-jeou government has attempted to reduce Taiwanization and strengthen the identity of the ‘Republic of China’ in high school history subjects. This has intensified into a political debate, with criticism from pan-Green camps, including the DPP, which values the ‘Taiwanese’ identity over the identity of the ‘Republic of China’.[citation needed] After asserting that the DPP’s view on the deletion of the “White Terror” from the new syllabus was a form of de-Taiwanization, Lin Ming-cheng [zh], a politician with the Chinese ultra-nationalist New Party, said that the DPP’s approach was the “Green Terror”.[3]

Following the arrest of Ko Wen-je, the chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), Huang Kuo-chang blamed the arrest on Green Terror.[4]

When the 2024 South Korean martial law crisis (caused by Yoon Suk Yeol, the then far-right[5] anti-communist South Korea’s president) broke out, the DPP Legislative Caucus posted an article on Threads, claiming that the declaration of martial law was a legitimate effort to protect free constitutional democracy in South Korea.[6][7] This led to the DPP being criticized by South Korean netizens, Chang Chi-kai and some Chinese/Taiwanese media dubbed it the “Green Terror”.[8][9][10][11][12]

Similar term

  • “Green Communists” (Chinese: 綠共; pinyin: lǜgòng; Wade–Giles: lü4kung4) is a term used to criticize the DPP’s political behavior as “CCP-like”. Comparing DPP to the CCP is meant to accuse DPP of controlling speech, fighting against dissidents, promoting nationalism, and using the judiciary to persecute political opponents.[14][15]
